Since fall, posting on Place de choix has diminished and Jasmina’s been learning how to use the blog. Since September I went back to school to continue my studies and the change in atmosphere did wonders, as my husband and I discovered we were pregnant in October. We’re due for a little girl June 20th. Between studies, work and pregnancy, the blog has been left behind, and Jasmina’s taken to e-mailing news to a group of friends as she’s done before. If you’d like... Read Full Story

Sebastien’s treatments have been going ok and his next treatment cycle has been pushed to next week as his counts still need to recover to be strong enough to handle his next treatments. His first day of treatment will be Wednesday 18. of March and this will be quiet a long day for him as he will start his infusions in the morning and will need diaylisis around 3 p.m. and usually doesn’t come home before 8 or 9 at night.  Please pray for him that day and for his cycle to be a good...

Friday last week, Sébastien was scheduled for a scan, and I was hesitant to put it on the blog, since there are usually little hiccups that can happen between the scheduling and the actual event occuring. And… if there was to be any bad news, David and Jasmina would rather spare you the details. The scan was put off until Monday of this week, and yesterday, Jasmina and David received the results: Hello to all of you We are very happy to inform you that Sebastien’s scan showed impr...

Hello to all of you Sebastien has had now his 2nd major round of treatments and today his counts are extremely low and we would like to invite you to pray that he doesn’t get any infection or fever etc., as his immune system cannot fight anthing at the moment. Hopefully in a few days his counts will pick up and than he also can have visitors again who are not carrying any colds, etc., themselves. It was a very heartbeaking decision to make, to have to temporarily relocate for the time t... Read Full Story

December has been just such a crazy month for us. From the transplant call to the transplant call being canceled only to find out that Sébastien’s stomach wall had thickened and needed to be treated for the next 5 months before we can have another chance for a kidney transplant. Sebastien was then being admitted at the hospital December 2nd and picked up an RSV infection and an adenovirus which gave him a major cold and diarrhea and a line infection. Top that off with Rituximab treatmen... Read Full Story

It has been a crazy week and despite all the tests investigations we want today to celebrate Sébastien’s 4th birthday. It was so touching seeing all the people come and sing “Happy Birthday” to him. Sébastien’s room was decorated by ChildLife and you should have seen how excited and special Sébastien felt! Also, Sébastien’s teacher in the hospital brought the whole class and they all sang. It was so touching! The medical team would like to treat Sébastien’s... Read Full Story

I want to thank everyone who have sent e-mails and comments wondering about Sébastien and asking for the latest news. Unfortunately, my husband and I have no news from David and Jasmina. It isn’t easy to write on their behalf. We believe, from the little we know, that they are facing the challenges of submitting Sébastien to a number of tests (both last week and this week) and wish to have their privacy from close friends and well-intentioned acquaintances. To the best of our ability, w... Read Full Story
